Objective: To explore the effects of personality and sleep quality with psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents, so as to provide a reference basis for precise interventions of junior and senior high school students mental health. Methods: In October 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 9 034 students aged 12-17 from Shiyan City as the study subjects. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) were used to collect information on sleep quality and psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents. Between group comparison was conducted by using t-test and Chi-square test. Generalized linear models were employed to analyze the interaction and joint effects of personality and sleep quality on psychological distress. Results: The generalized linear model analysis showed that the interaction between personality and sleep quality on psychological distress was statistically significant of junior and senior high school students(effect size=0.80, P <0.01). The general linear model analysis indicated that, after adjusting for variables such as age, gender, screen time, and daily sitting time with the extroverted and good sleep quality group as the reference, the introverted and poor sleep quality group had the largest mean difference in psychological distress scores (difference=0.51, P <0.05). When stratified by sleep quality, psychological distress scores were higher in the introverted and neutral personality groups with both poor and good sleep quality compared to the extroverted group (poor sleep quality: introverted difference=3.71, neutral difference=1.14; good sleep quality: introverted difference=2.23, neutral difference=0.57, all P < 0.05). When stratified by personality, psychological distress scores were higher in the poor sleep quality groups for introverted, neutral, and extroverted individuals compared to their good sleep quality counterparts (differences=8.66, 7.83, 7.34, all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Personality and sleep quality have interactive and joint effects on psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents. Personalized psychological interventions should be developed based on personality and sleep quality.

Occult hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection(OBI)represents a potential reservoir for HBV transmission,capable of spreading through routes such as blood transfusion.Additionally,OBI can con-tribute to the chronic progression of hepatitis B-related diseases,sustaining a state of chronic HBV infec-tion.In individuals with compromised immune function or undergoing immunosuppressive therapy,OBI may lead to HBV re-activation,potentially triggering severe liver conditions such as acute hepatitis or liv-er failure.As a result,OBI poses a significant public health challenge,profoundly impacting the health and well-being of affected populations and complicating HBV infection control efforts in China.Clinically diagnosing OBI remains challenging,but its hallmark is serum hepatitis B surface antigen negative and the presence of HBV covalently closed circular DNA(cccDNA)in the liver.With the increasing focus on achieving functional cure for chronic hepatitis B,both domestic and international guidelines have re-fined functional cure.Notably,these guidelines acknowledge that cccDNA may persist in the liver tissue of individuals who have achieved functional cure,suggesting resemblance of an occult infection state.Here,we provide a comprehensive overview of OBI,including its definition,classification,public health implications,underlying mechanisms,and clinical reactivation.By updating the understanding of OBI,we aim to raise awareness among clinicians and public health professionals regarding the significance of OBI in the current context and encourage greater attention to this population.

Objective To explore the imaging data and pathological factors affecting the postoperative recurrence of solitary fibrous tumor(SFT)of the central nervous system.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 40 patients with SFT confirmed by pathology.All patients were divided into recurrence group(n=12)and non-recurrence group(n=28)based on the follow-up results.Univariate analysis and Cox proportional hazards model were used to screen the risk factors of recurrence,and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the recurrence-free survival(RFS)among different groups.Results Univariate analysis showed that the Ki-67 index in the recurrence group was significantly higher than that in the non-recurrence group(median 38.5%vs 10.0%,P<0.001),and the proportion of WHO grade 3 was higher than that in the non-recurrence group(66.67%vs 7.14%,P<0.001).MRI features were significantly associated with recurrence,including the maximum diameter of the tumor[(6.63±1.10)cm vs(4.16±1.64)cm,P<0.001],peritumoral edema(91.67%vs 28.57%,P<0.001),and midline structure shift(83.33%vs 17.86%,P<0.001).Multivariate analysis suggested that the risk of recurrence increased by 122%for each 1 cm increase in the maximum diameter of the tumor[hazard ratio(HR)=2.22,95%confidence interval(CI)1.33-3.72],and by 27%for each 1%increase in the Ki-67 index(HR=1.27,95%CI 1.02-1.61),respectively.Conclusion MRI features such as maximum diameter of the tumor,significant peritumoral edema,and midline structure shift should be alert to high recurrence risk,and with pathological grading and Ki-67 index,it can provide significant basis for prognosis evaluation.

Objective:To observe the changes of central visual acuity and extracentral visual acuity in eyes with non-arteritic central retinal artery occlusion (NA-CRAO).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2024, 140 patients (140 eyes) diagnosed with NA-CRAO through ophthalmic examination at Department of Ophthalmology of First People's Hospital of Xianyang City were included in the study. All affected eyes underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), visual field, intraocular pressure, fundus color photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fluorescein angiography (FFA) examinations. After a clear diagnosis, conservative treatment such as reducing intraocular pressure, relieving spasms, and dilating blood vessels should be given immediately. Simultaneously, intravenous and/or arterial thrombolysis therapy should be administered based on the patient's overall condition. Under the same treatment conditions as other treatments, 33 eyes were treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy within 24 hours after seeking medical attention. The changes in central visual acuity (BCVA) and peripheral visual acuity of the affected eye one month after treatment were observed. BCVA improvement of ≥ 1 line was defined as the increase of no light sensitivity to light sensitivity or above, and the increase of light sensitivity to 0.01 or above. The visual acuity outside the center was determined by the 0 ° axis in front of the eyeball at eye level, and was 10 ° outside visual acuity on the temporal side. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression analysis.Results:Among the 140 cases (140 eyes), there were 84 males (84 eyes) and 56 females (56 eyes). The mean age was (63.89±10.78) years. The duration of illness from the onset of symptoms to the time of diagnosis was 48 (2-720) hours. 6, 1, 14, 47, 41, 16, and 15 eyes were diagnosed with BCVA without light perception, uncertain light perception, manual/anterior, digital/anterior, 0.01-0.10, and ≥ 0.10, respectively. FFA examination revealed delayed arm retinal circulation time and filling of the retinal artery trunk to the peak, with changes in the "arterial front" observed in 126 eyes. OCT examination showed extensive edema and unclear structure in the inner layer of the retina in all patients. Out of 140 eyes, 122 were treated with intravenous thrombolysis and 4 with arterial thrombolysis; 14 eyes did not receive thrombolytic therapy. After treatment, 38 eyes (27.1 %) showed an improvement of BCVA ≥ 1; 67 eyes (47.9%) did not show an improvement in BCVA, and the affected eye had a BCVA of approximately 0.6 without light perception; 17 eyes (12.1 %) showed improvement in peripheral vision, and the peripheral vision of the affected eyes ranged from 0.01 to 0.1, all of whom were patients undergoing intravenous thrombolysis, and prior to treatment, this group of patients had complete blindness in the coarse side visual field of the Amsler grid, and their out of center visual acuity could not be measured. Among the 33 eyes treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, 24 eyes (72.7%) showed an increase in BCVA after treatment; 9 eyes did not improve, among which 4 eyes (12.1%) showed improvement in out of center visual acuity. Among the 107 eyes that did not receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy, 49 eyes (45.8%) showed an increase in BCVA after treatment. There was no improvement in 58 eyes (54.2%), among which 13 eyes (12.1%) showed an improvement in out of center visual acuity. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that intravenous thrombolysis and hyperbaric oxygen therapy were independent predictive factors for the improvement of central and extra central visual acuity ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Hyperbaric oxygen therapy within 24 hours of seeking medical attention for patients with NA-CRAO disease course ≤ 1 month has a significant effect on the recovery of central and extra central vision. Intravenous thrombolysis and hyperbaric oxygen therapy are independent predictive factors for the improvement of central and extra central vision.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.

AIM To explore the clinical effects of Heiguteng Zhuifeng Huoluo Capsules combined with warm acupuncture at musculotendinous pathological nodes on patients with knee osteoarthritis due to Cold-Dampness Obstruction and Fixed Impediment.METHODS One hundred and sixty patients were randomly assigned into control group(80 cases)for 4-week intervention of both warm acupuncture at musculotendinous pathological nodes and Celecoxib Capsules,and observation group(80 cases)for 4-week intervention of Heiguteng Zhuifeng Huoluo Capsules,warm acupuncture at musculotendinous pathological nodes and Celecoxib Capsules.The changes in clinical effects,TCM syndrome scores,WOMAC scores,Lequesne indices,pain mediators(PGE2,β-EP),growth factors(TGF-β1,IGF-1),bone metabolism indices(OPG,RANKL),TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway and safety indices were detected.RESULTS The observation group demonstrated higher total effective rate than the control group(P＜0.05).After the treatment,the two groups displayed decreased TCM syndrome scores,WOMAC scores,Lequesne indices,PGE2,RANKLE,TLR4,NF-κB(P＜0.05),and increased β-EP,growth factors,OPG(P＜0.05),especially for the observation group(P＜0.05).No serious adverse events or reactions were observable in the two groups.CONCLUSION For the patients with knee osteoarthritis due to Cold-Dampness Obstruction and Fixed Impediment,Heiguteng Zhuifeng Huoluo Capsules combined with warm acupuncture at musculotendinous pathological nodes can safely and effectively alleviate clinical symptoms,improve knee joint pain,and enhance joint functions,whose action mechanisms may contribute to the inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway expression and regulations of serum TGF-β1,IGF-1,OPG,RANKL levels.

Objective To identify the key factors affecting the risk of medical surges and their coupling relation5 ships,providing strategic support for medical institutions to optimize risk management and emergency governance.Methods 17 influencing factors were determined based on WSR theory,and an expert scoring method was employed to assess the impact strength among the factors.The DEMATEL method was applied to calculate the centrality,cau5 sality,influence,and being influenced degrees of the influencing factors.The ISM method was used to construct a hierarchical structure of the influencing factors related to medical surge risks,thereby revealing the connections and interaction mechanisms among these factors.Results Seven critical influencing factors were identified,including the crisis decision-making capacity and leadership effectiveness of emergency managers,the completeness of the emer5 gency system and dynamic execution capabilities,and the cross-departmental coordination mechanism and com5 mand collaboration efficiency.Deep driving factors and coupling pathways were also revealed.Conclusion The risk of medical surges exhibits multi-factorial coupling cascade effects;attention should be directed towards the construc5 tion of mid-to-deep level mechanisms such as information systems,institutional frameworks,and organizational management,to enhance targeted capabilities and systemic resilience in risk governance.

Objective To define the conceptual connotation of network dynamic collaboration capacity in medical surge response and construct its theoretical model.Methods A mixed concept analysis method was employed,integrating multidisciplinary literature and collecting empirical evidence through semi-structured expert interviews to extract the concept of network dynamic collaboration capacity in medical surge response.By integrating complex systems,network science,synergetics,and dynamic capability theory,and combining the interview results,the study used the analogy of flood control in hydraulic engineering to develop a"network-dynamic-collaboration"triangular capacity theoretical model.Results It reveals one antecedents(sudden external shocks have led to an abnormal and continuous surge in medical demand),six core attributes(information interconnection accessibility,dynamic resource adaptability,risk perception responsiveness,multi-party collaborative interactivity,service process adaptability elasticity,and learning iterative evolution),and four consequences(mitigation of crowding risk,protection of service continuity,minimization of crisis spillover,and enhancement of system resilience)for the network dynamic collaboration capacity in medical surge response.The theoretical model elucidates the coupling mechanisms among network structural resilience,dynamic regulation processes,and collaborative co-evolution in resisting medical surge.Conclusion The new concept and theoretical model proposed in this study deepen the understanding of medical surge response system mechanisms and offer a theoretical framework and practical guidance for strengthening the full-chain resilience of health emergency systems.

OBJECTIVE: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is sensitive to ferroptosis, a new form of programmed cell death that occurs in most tumor types. However, the mechanism through which ferroptosis modulates HCC remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the oncogenic role and prognostic value of FANCD2 and provide novel insights into the prognostic assessment and prediction of immunotherapy. METHODS: Using clinicopathological parameters and bioinformatic techniques, we comprehensively examined the expression of FANCD2 macroscopically and microcosmically. We conducted univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses to identify the prognostic value of FANCD2 in HCC and elucidated the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying the involvement of FANCD2 in oncogenesis by promoting iron-related death. RESULTS: FANCD2 was significantly upregulated in digestive system cancers with abundant immune infiltration. As an independent risk factor for HCC, a high FANCD2 expression level was associated with poor clinical outcomes and response to immune checkpoint blockade. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that FANCD2 was mainly involved in the cell cycle and CYP450 metabolism. CONCLUSION To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to comprehensively elucidate the oncogenic role of FANCD2. FANCD2 has a tumor-promoting aspect in the digestive system and acts as an independent risk factor in HCC; hence, it has recognized value for predicting tumor aggressiveness and prognosis and may be a potential biomarker for poor responsiveness to immunotherapy.
